My Tasty Soul has a simple mission to make you feel good from the inside, using whole-foods to nourish the mind, body & soul. It’s hard to know where to begin when it comes to our diet, lifestyle and overall wellbeing, so I’m passionate about small changes we can make to even feel that 1% better! I learned the hard way there’s no price you can pay for happiness & health. I am determined to use my experience to help other people!
More of my story below…
My name is Martha and I’ve suffered with digestive troubles and poor health since I was a teenager. Endless medical investigations baffled me as nothing sinister was really detected other than how I felt inside. Days off school led to weeks off work and even missing out on my own college graduation ceremony, I accepted myself as ‘the sick person’ of my family and friends.
Constantly having to worry about how my body will react in advance was a tiring act that I had to juggle for many years. I didn’t understand that pre-packaged, processed foods & meat, drinking alcohol and generally neglecting to nurture my body were causing any problems, as these are the norms of today’s society. However, whenever I took a baby step in the right direction, I noticed that my body acted a little kinder. I began researching, choosing healthier options and generally falling in love with food… quite literally.
I quickly learned that despite how healthy the food you eat, it’s the relationship with your food that matters the most. In 2017, my body quite literally broke down, one function at a time. I lost a lot of weight, my hair fell out & my period stopped. I spent weeks in hospitals, searching for the the mysterious illness that had been causing my deterioration, yet I hadn’t even considered that I had the answers within me all along.
It wasn’t until the last test returned clear that I had to face my own problems and finally digest the buried emotions that I denied for so long. When I began to heal my mind, my body began to function again. I couldn’t believe just how much the emotional & physical bodies were linked. Suddenly, I could do things like walk, use the bathroom and eat again. It was a miracle! It IS a miracle.
Throughout my own healing, I have gained so much knowledge of a healthy diet beyond protein, macronutrients and meal timings but of the benefits of a healthy relationship with nourishing (and f**king delicious) food that truly can assist in healing from within. The food you put on your plate becomes the lubrication of your joints and the cells within your bones. We owe it to ourselves and the future generation to challenge societal beliefs and begin to treat our bodies with respect, gratitude and love. The food that you eat becomes the foundation in which all great healing can take place.
I now understand the purpose of travelling down those treacherous roads first hand was to find a place where myself and others can come together and heal.
Welcome to a new relationship with food…
Welcome to feeling good from the inside out…
